Message-ID: <1993Aug12.161337.17725@sei.cmu.edu> (raw)
As for our LynxOS, MVS, Solaris, HP-RT and OS/2 products, the Windows-NT
Ada compiler will map Ada tasks onto OS threads. For OS' that don't
provide lightweight processes, we generally map all tasks into a single
process. For embedded-oriented products, tasks are basically a register
set, control block and some workspace.
So, while I agree with the comment that the Alsys runtime does assume it's
the "main", I can't agree with the conclusion that we ignore the OS under-
lying capabilities. The runtime comprises multiple virtual machine layers
that are mapped onto a bottom layer of services that we judge to be
most effective for a given operating environment.
The NT compiler will be on display at our booth at Tri-Ada.
- Ed Falis, Alsys
